Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 140 Guess
"Soul Fighting Competition, the first match of the top 8 of 16, the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy versus the previous champion, Shrek Academy!"

The referee's voice rang out from the ring, and the audience's cheers followed, one wave higher than the other, and the whole venue suddenly became lively.

Ma Rulong watched the seven Shrek Academy members file onto the stage and moved a little closer. "Senior, their regular players are finally going to play."

Lin Xiao nodded, without moving his eyes away from the ring, "I think you could pay attention to the last two children."

"They?" Ma Rulong frowned. "Senior, apart from the first few matches where one kid somehow simulated six hundred thousand year spirit rings, there's nothing particularly impressive about them. Their cultivation levels are only a Soul Venerable and a Great Soul Master."

"Yes." Lin Xiao smiled. "So even we know that those two kids are only a Soul Master and a Great Soul Master, so why did Shrek Academy send them into battle instead of someone with a higher level of cultivation?"

"Is it a martial soul fusion technique?" Ma Rulong asked uncertainly, "We discussed this with father before. The two of them have performed a powerful soul control technique."

"Perhaps. However, in a team competition with only seven people, sacrificing two positions just to perform a spirit fusion technique is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps their positions in the team are more important than we expected."

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and glanced at Ma Rulong.

There were some things he couldn't bring out clearly, so he could only say so much. As for how much Ma Rulong took in, that was his own business. After all, he wasn't the team leader, so some arrangements still had to be made by Ma Rulong himself.

"Game start!"

On the ring, at the referee's command, the dazzling phoenix flames rose up almost instantly. The protective shield around the ring blocked the terrifying high temperature, but it had caused the surrounding air to distort continuously. Looking from outside the protective shield, the figures inside were actually blurred.

The torment of more than half a month had made Ma Xiaotao and the other two feel suffocated. Now that they were on the stage, they no longer cared about tactics and just wanted to vent all the frustration in their hearts.

Below the ring, Wang Yan suddenly sat up straight, his face becoming extremely serious. He knew in his heart that Ma Xiaotao and the others had completely forgotten his tactics. Then, he looked towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao still smiled and nodded at Wang Yan, but this smile made his face look even uglier.

"Senior, this..."

Wang Yan was not the only one with a grim expression. When he first didn't know the strength of the three regular players from Shrek Academy, Ma Rulong always wanted to let those three take action as soon as possible to find out their strength.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't want them to take action anymore.

"It's Shrek Academy after all."

Lin Xiao also sighed softly. This year's class had Ma Xiaotao, the previous class had Zhang Lexuan. Shrek Academy's inner court disciples also had to complete monitoring duties. Even with the many casualties, they were still able to ensure that each class had at least one such gifted disciple.

Not to mention their training methods, at least the talents of their students are indeed better than those of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lin Xiao looked at Ma Rulong with a smile.

"No." Ma Rulong's expression had calmed down and he slowly shook his head. "If we can't even defeat their three regular players, we won't have any chance in the future."

"It's good to have confidence. Prepare well."

Lin Xiao looked back at the arena. As the spirit rings around Xu Sanshi lit up one after another, Ma Xiaotao had already been sent into the Douling Academy's formation by Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Swap. Then, a phoenix cry resounded throughout the arena. "Their spirit master is very powerful. That spirit skill should be able to swap positions with others. Originally it was used to change positions to protect teammates, but he used it to launch an offensive."

"Yeah, that's really impressive." Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Douling Academy. "You see, Douling Academy wasn't unprepared. They'd already used soul guides to block their sight, but he was still able to accurately hit the people behind him."

Ma Rulong nodded after hearing what Lin Xiao said, but soon stopped and realized, "Senior, are you saying that his soul skill doesn't rely on the eyes to lock onto the opponent?"

"I'm just guessing." Lin Xiao smiled. "Haven't you discussed this with Teacher Ma before?"

"No." Ma Rulong shook his head. "Before, we just thought that the Soul Sect's performance was quite good, but after what you said, I also realized that he didn't seem to have determined the target when he used his soul skills."

"That soul skill is similar to our soul guide rays, and there's no way to control the direction. He shouldn't be so confident every time he uses it. He should even target the opponent's key position every time."

“Maybe…” Ma Rulong hesitated, his gaze finally shifting slowly to Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind the Shrek Academy formation. “Maybe someone else is helping him aim.”

The soul skills of soul masters are varied and the role that some auxiliary soul masters can play is completely unpredictable.

Although the Sun-Moon Empire is more proficient in soul guides, the Sun-Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent have collided for thousands of years, and the people of the Sun-Moon Empire have been somewhat affected and have also done some research on martial spirits.

Although it sounds a bit unexpected, there might really be auxiliary soul skills that can help other soul masters determine the targets of their soul skills.

In the previous few games, the others had more or less displayed their soul skills, and Ma Rulong had a rough assessment of them.

Only Huo Yuhao, from the initial six hundred thousand year soul rings to the later two ten year soul rings, although he was on the field, he had nothing outstanding except that he had a martial soul fusion skill with Wang Dong.

Originally, it was thought that he was arranged to play because he and Wang Dong had a spirit fusion skill, but now it seems that, perhaps as Lin Xiao said, Huo Yuhao has a higher status in the Shrek Academy team.

After all, if there really is such a strange auxiliary soul skill, it would only be possible for Huo Yuhao, who has never been able to see what soul skill he has used.

On the other side, Mika, who had hunted spirit rings with Lin Xiao before, glanced at Ma Rulong, who was thinking hard, and gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up. "Senior, you are amazing. You made the captain look like this with just a few words."

"Just watch the game carefully. I'm just guessing. The facts still need to be verified." Lin Xiao cursed with a smile and looked at Ma Rulong beside him.

Whether the result Lin Jiayi wants to see will appear depends on how much Ma Longru, the captain, can think of.

He didn't look at the situation on the ring anymore. From the moment Ma Xiaotao entered the Douling Academy formation, the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt.

Perhaps it was because of the pent-up anger in her heart, or perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao made Ma Xiaotao worry-free, she poured out her power without reservation, and the evil intent in it was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the evil soul master.

And the Holy Spirit Church has probably found their "Saintess".

"Let's go. There is only one match in the morning. Let's go back." Lin Xiao stood up without waiting for the people on the ring to leave.
